Which Games Make You Complete Them?

Love ‘em or avoid ‘em, there are a handful of games that include a difficult side-mission that you simply cannot let slide. Whether it be for the achievement alone or the nagging feeling that your game will be incomplete without it, we find ourselves taking on these daunting tasks.

We asked our bloggers and wiki editors in the IGN All Star program which quests they simply had to complete. Here is what they said:

Riddle me this, Batman!

“Going after all those Riddler puzzles in the Arkham games comes to mind for me…” - KoffeeGuy

Super Green

“Super Mario World with going back and getting all the green stars” - apellegrino0304

Random Access Maps

“It took me a little under three months of countless hours to 100% Spelunky for PSN, but that's still something only 1.4% of owners have accomplished according to psnprofiles.com” - dquigley

Monster mash

“Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. I have put in over 250 hours. It comes in waves where I would play for a couple of weeks and sink 50 hours into it and then not touch it for two or three months.” - Hangingcliff

To catch all or not to catch all...

“On Pokemon Diamond I managed to catch every Pokemon available up to that point, including even legendaries.” - briefs_cat11
